    So I found myself in Pendleton and stopped here. Pretty much sorry that I did. They close at 7pm on Sunday and I arrived at 6:20pm. I sat down at the bar and waited 10 minutes for someone to actually notice me at the bar. I asked for a menu and a cocktail menu. I chose a cocktail off of their menu, Birthday Cake martini. I also chose the Garden Delight panini and the loaded fries on the side (yes there was an up charge for this). The bartender who seemed new put my order in and then started searching for the ingredients for the martini. I heard him discussing the ingredients for the martini with someone who clearly worked there but was on the customer side of the bar eating. I heard him ask about the raspberry cream that goes in the drink and there was none and then I heard her say just use strawberry. What? So they were going to sub strawberry (known allergen) without telling me. I spoke up then and said it is raspberry and she said you can use either one, so be careful y'all. I looked at the bartender and said just give me a pineapple and Malibu rum. Super simple! This was definitely a bar and it matters who is sitting at the bar as to how loud it is. It is all pretty open. So I received my food soon after that and the loaded fries were anything but, take a look at the pics! The sandwich was alright hence the two stars except by the time I got to the second half it was a bit soggy on the second side and I did not eat it or the fries which were severely lacking. Unlikely I will give this place a second try.

    The Almost Skinny is my new favorite!! Great recommendation by the server. The grilled tenderloin was also very good as an alternative to the traditional breaded version. The beers on tap rotate frequently which is great if you enjoy trying new craft beers.

    The food is always good. The service is very personal and friendly. They are awesome and the atmosphere is great.

    Good food, service, and ambiance. Enjoy stopping in for a drink and dinner. Have watched music here and it is fun. It is loud so it's hard to talk, but it's a fun time.

    Good food. Good service. Live music. Kitchen open late. Good price. It was late and a few of us needed to eat before we drove back to Indy. So we stopped in at The Stable to eat. We got the buckeyes for an appetizer. They are pretzel bites with a cheese sauce. I did not get a picture of them because they were eaten so quickly. I got a bacon cheeseburger. It was good. All of the food that my friends got looked really good including the salads. I enjoyed the live music. About 3 different groups were up performing. A good variety of covers. Definitely a place to grab a quick bite at night and catch some local bands.

    Dined at The Stable last night and had an amazing Philly Cheesesteak and fries! Looks like weeknights are a great time to get dinner in here, there was plenty of seating available, our food came out fast, and the bartender (who was also our server) offered great customer service. She answered our questions about bands that came to play there, drink options and their menu favorites. I opted for a Philly Cheesesteak based on the reviews I had seen on Yelp. It didn't disappoint! The cheese and housemade horseradish sauce were super YUM! My husband had the Western burger that was piled high in bacon, bbq, and an onion ring. Their fries remind me of In-n-Out Burger fries, which if you've read my review on my first experience there - you'd know these were some of the best fries ever. We also ordered the Buckeyes as an app - pretzel bites and their own beer cheese. Triva is offered the first Wednesday night of every month and they have live music Thursdays-Saturdays. It's a seat yourself venue and bar, 21+ only so leave the kiddos at home. We did for a great date night!

    I visited a friend in Pendleton, and we went to the stable. I really enjoyed my visit! There was a live band doing relevant covers, the food was great, and the service was awesome. We got the spinach artichoke dip and pepperoni flatbread pizza. The spinach dip was extra cheesy, which I love. The flatbread pizza left a little to be desired, as I feel like their pizza sauce may need a little more seasoning. The girls bathroom was a little odd with one main secure door and two seperate stalls facing the door with no privacy. The stalls had no doors or curtains. Overall a great experience!

    This is the most fun place in Pendleton. Lots of draft beer to choose from and great food. It's a fun place particularly on bingo night.

    Stopped in for lunch. Downtown Fortville. It never looks like there is a lot of parking…read moredowntown, but I've always been able to find a spot fairly close to my destination. I love the small town feel!! The restaurant vibe reflects the town. Everyone is very welcoming. I didn't catch bartenders name, but she was very friendly to everyone at her bar. She told us her favorites on the menu. I appreciated her knowledge about the restaurant and the menu. The bar area seemed a little dark, but that actually enhanced the experience of an old bar. We only sat in the bar area, I believe there is additional seating in another room, but I didn't look. I opted for a grilled tenderloin and a cup of beer cheddar jalapeño cheese soup. The sandwich's are Ala carte. The sandwich was bigger than I expected, that would have been enough for lunch. The trick with grilled tenderloin is that many times it is over cooked, so it is dry. This was cooked to perfection; cooked but still moist. The sandwich, with the "garden" was awesome. Now to the soup. I think she said they use wee Mac as the beer. The jalapeño was puréed. There was crispy bacon crumbled on top; I did not care for the bacon. The soup was odd to me as I was eating it. Because of the texture, it reminded me of corn chowder. There was a little spice/flavor from the jalapeño. What was odd to me, was it didn't wow me like I thought it would, but I kept eating it. So in the end, I think I really liked it bc I ate all of it!!! The menu is not large, but has a good variety for its size. The desserts were impressive, I just didn't have room for it. I could easily become a regular there!!

Indeed, the tiny restaurant on Main Street in Markleville (population 484) is filled most evenings and weekend lunch with guests anxious for the hand breaded sandwiches, hand cut fries, burgers, wings and more. The owner, Doug, began restoring the historic building in 2019. Now he is working to add dining space upstairs for another 15 tables to help accommodate the demand. I was steered to the restaurant by a fellow Yelper from Virginia. I did not hesitate to make the 90 mile round trip drive for lunch. The dining room is small with a couple cloth covered tables and a bar seating. Soft country music fills the room and a gorilla hangs from the ceiling. The tenderloin is incredibly tender, fresh, juicy and hot with a perfectly seasoned breading. I ordered the regular size tenderloin, Doug also serves a larger version that is about a pound of meat. And don't skip the fries - hand cut and crisp. The fries are 5 star too. The service is impeccable, the kind of small town service that makes you feel special. We loved hearing Doug's story. There is street parking on the side of the building. They do a robust carry-out business, as well. They are not currently serving alcohol. They are not opened mid week for lunch- check the hours. It's worth the drive, even from out of state. So good!

For my entrée, I got the pork loin as well because it was so good as an appetizer, and before that I started with the tomato soup, which was also excellent.
